Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 271 Space Test

The entire station was completely destroyed.

Thick smoke billowed and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Although there are many weapons and equipment in this station, in Cai Jin’s eyes, these weapons and equipment are no different from scrap metal.

More than a thousand mercenaries and CIA agents were buried here, not even a complete body was left.

In fact, because Cai Jin interfered with information in this area, no news even came out here.

Only when satellites pass by and see the sea of ​​​​fire can they detect it.

Cai Jin was still angry.

These CIA shady rats are only capable of conspiracy and conspiracy. They are really disgusting.

Cai Jin couldn’t wait to get rid of all the rats in these stinking ditches.

But he didn’t take action again.

If these rats were eliminated, wouldn’t it mean that the Arab League would gain in vain?

If this is the case, the situation here is calm, and naturally the weapons will not be easy to sell.

This is an important arms market in the world. The annual arms business can reach almost 500 to 600 billion yuan, which is a considerable amount of business.

I don’t expect to be able to continue this kind of business forever, but it has to be done for ten or twenty years!

Therefore, Cai Jin endured the anger in his heart and returned to Future Technology Group.

America is holding a conference.

The main officials are being questioned.

There is no way, the past few years have been really bad, terrible, and all parties are making trouble.

Buken and others had gloomy faces.

In the past few years, they have done everything wrong. They have to be questioned every now and then, and they are made disgraced.

Over the past two hundred and fifty years, I couldn’t find a group that was more miserable than them.

This time, the questioning was even more vigorous, the most vocal in recent years.

This time is even the third impeachment case, and the investigation is the fifth.

Their mortal enemies are coming with great momentum. The latest public support rate is as high as 75%, while their support rate is less than 10%.

Their rivals, every speech they give is packed with people, roaring and roaring, and there is a strong trend of being canonized.

“Mr. Buchan, tell me why the government spends so much money every year but the situation has not improved at all,” a member of Parliament said with anger.

His family perished in Norfolk, leaving him alone.

He hated Buchan and others, and felt that it was the incompetence of these people that caused such a disaster when the decommissioning of the International Space Station occurred, killing his family.

Others also expressed their anger.

In recent years, life has been difficult for everyone.

The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates to the sky many times, but it has not achieved the results originally envisioned. No one is buying U.S. bonds, whether short-term or long-term. With high prices and high prices, everyone’s money continues to depreciate.

The same dollar obviously buys a lot less.

Not to mention, the decommissioning of the International Space Station has created a big mess and caused extremely heavy losses.

According to previous dollar value statistics, direct losses and indirect losses were nearly 10 trillion U.S. dollars.

Not to mention, a lot of money will need to be invested in reconstruction later.

Even now, there is constant debate over whether to rebuild or not.

Because rather than spending a huge amount of money to build it, it would be more cost-effective to build another city in a relatively distant place.

Anyway, the old United States is vast and sparsely populated, and there is plenty of room to build another city.

A large number of warships were destroyed, not because of war, but because of the crash of the International Space Station. This caused the navy’s strength to be greatly weakened, so that it had to give up many places, leaving a power vacuum in these places and giving them to others in vain.

The remaining aircraft carriers and warships are simply not enough to maintain control of the vast ocean.

This is a fatal blow to maritime countries.

The strength of a maritime country has always been determined by the strength of its navy, because the interests of maritime countries come from maritime interests, route security, and route tolls.

A weakening navy means that maritime countries are weakening.

From a geographical perspective, in fact, North America and even all of North America and South America are actually just islands compared to the entire Eurasian plate.

Buchan and others felt overwhelming pressure.

These accusations are like knives piercing their hearts.

There is no doubt that once they bear this huge blame, each of their political lives will come to an end.

Under such circumstances, relatively speaking, the news that a mercenary force or a stronghold was destroyed would not cause any trouble at all, and few people would even pay attention to it.

At this conference, questions related to all aspects were asked. The report cards handed over in the past few years are undoubtedly failing, and almost no aspect is satisfactory.

Even Gong Huo got out of control. In addition to bringing some benefits at the beginning, hundreds of billions of dollars, a large amount of arms, and nearly 100,000 mercenaries were invested later, but they had to shake hands and make peace. Benefit.

Gong Huo, but was burned by the fire.

This is simply unforgivable, this operation is simply too low!

As for competition in other areas, it continues to lose its edge.

It can be said that their advantages in the high-tech field are now gone. All the measures taken have failed. In the face of technology, any measures are pale and powerless.

NASA has received a large amount of funding, but apart from the launch of large launch vehicles and the lively global selection of astronauts to land on the moon, there are no other achievements.

Not to mention the support rate in the opinion polls, those who hold power are dissatisfied and angry with these people.

As a result, this meeting was filled with all kinds of anger and dissatisfaction, but no corresponding measures could be taken.

The news related to this meeting also spread all over the world very quickly.

It has attracted heated discussions all over the world.

The reconstruction of Norfolk has attracted much attention around the world. Everyone wants to know what plan the United States will come up with, but it has embarrassed countless people. After several months, there is not even a decent plan. There is no plan, or at this point, they are still arguing and unable to reach an agreement.

There are even some voices saying that they want to abandon the entire Norfolk area. If they abandon this place, there will naturally be no need to invest a lot of money in governance and reconstruction.

As for the pollution problem, it is a concern of countless people, but has not been mentioned at all.

The whole world has conducted comprehensive research and interpretation on this, and many people have expressed their disappointment with this performance. The lighthouse is gradually tilting and collapsing.

And because of limited funds, no matter how advanced the technology of remote breeding is, there is still a feeling that “it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice” at this time, and it is no longer the bustle of previous years.

For a time, the entire Internet seemed much more peaceful, with less hostility, less confrontation and less war.

Cai Jin didn’t pay much attention to those bad things.

When he returned to the company, he immersed himself in scientific research.

One after another, he created robots.

Cai Jin even plans to go to space in person to conduct testing.

On this day, Cai Jin decided to go to space in person to test the large space robotic arm.

Everything was moved into the cargo hold.

Cai Jin put on the mecha and entered the cockpit.

With this mecha, even if he encounters the most unfavorable situation, he can rely on this mecha to return to Earth safely.

For air and space fighters, it should be said that the space shuttle is more suitable now.

The powerful vertical thruster pushed it up, and then, as if for an instant, a light blue arc light lit up from the rear of the space shuttle, pushing the huge fuselage forward.

It disappeared easily into the darkness and soon entered the clouds.

The speed keeps accelerating and the height keeps rising.

The acceleration of electric propulsion is much slower than that of chemical propulsion. If it is a rocket launch, it usually takes about ten minutes from ignition to entering the predetermined orbit.

And this kind of electric propulsion would take several hours.

It seems to be flying at an angle, but if you look at it from observation, it is actually some arcs!

To be honest, the acceleration of this kind of space shuttle is not very high. In fact, it does not need a space suit to protect it inside the aircraft.

Not to mention a mecha, but Cai Jin is timid and afraid of death, so wearing a mecha, it is best to be fully prepared to deal with the most adverse situations.

For the sake of safety, Cai Jin will wear a mecha throughout the whole process.

This mecha, after several optimizations and upgrades by Cai Jin, has reached a very excellent level. Even in space, he will not be exposed to strong radiation, and strong radiation will be blocked by the mecha.

Moreover, the mecha’s thruster can allow Cai Jin to return to Earth safely.

Even supporting Cai Jin to go to the moon is not a problem.

For example, if there is an emergency and he is temporarily unable to return to Earth, he can go to the scientific research station on the moon.

After reaching the airspace at an altitude of 20 kilometers, the space shuttle’s engine output gradually increased. At the same time, the nose of the aircraft began to rise significantly, and it began to speed toward outer space along the trajectory tangent to the earth.

Looking at the distant planet outside the window, Cai Jin’s pupils dilated slightly with a shocked expression. The blue sea and thick clouds merged into one, and the players’ lights were like stars in the cold night, connecting with the morning glow that connected to the edge of the horizon.

After taking a while to digest the shock in his heart, he sighed softly: “Only standing here can we most intuitively feel the fact that the earth is round.”

In fact, the earth is not a sphere in the strict sense. It is more appropriate to say it is an ellipsoid.

The earth has an equatorial radius of 6378.137 kilometers, a polar radius of 6356.752 kilometers, an average radius of about 6371 kilometers, and an equatorial circumference of about 40076 kilometers. It is an irregular elliptical sphere that is slightly flattened at the poles and slightly bulging at the equator.

Just to the naked eye, the earth is a round ball!

At this time, the space shuttle had broken through the 100-kilometer limit and soon reached an altitude of 160 kilometers. This is also the lowest altitude that can orbit the earth – a 160-kilometer orbit.

At this point, although it has not yet left the exosphere, the resistance of the air is already so weak that it can be ignored.

At this point, it can be said that it has successfully entered orbit.

At this time, it is in a state of weightlessness.

Cai Jin unbuckled his seat belt, floated to the porthole, and saw at a glance the boundless space in the distance, the vastness of space.

Turning his head to look to the other side, a huge blue planet appeared in his field of vision.

“Earth!” Cai Jin couldn’t help but hold his breath.

So, so beautiful!

Although this scene is often seen on the Internet and TV, and even his space shuttle has photographed the earth countless times in space, when he actually left the earth on the space shuttle and saw it with his own eyes, the shock simply touched his soul.

The blue planet is constantly shrinking!

The distance between the space shuttle and the blue planet is getting farther and farther.

“Earth, sun!” Cai Jin looked behind the earth. In the distance, there was a planet that was like a burning flame – the sun!

The space shuttle is stationary in a space orbit of 400 kilometers.

“Start working!” Cai Jin knew that it was time to work.

Subsequently, the hatch was opened, and various types of space robots were tested first.

These space robots will first conduct tests inside the cabin, and then conduct tests outside the cabin.

With the data accumulated from previous space maintenance robots, the robot’s space test went smoothly.

It only took a few hours to complete.

In terms of performance, it performs quite well.

People in space are in a state of weightlessness, which cannot be compared with that on earth. No matter how hard you train, this aspect will be greatly affected.

But robots are different. These robots will not be affected by weightlessness and can operate automatically or under the control of astronauts.

“The next step is the large space robotic arm!” Cai Jin started to work on the large space robotic arm.

This large space robotic arm does not look long, but that is because it is contracted. Once extended, the arm length will reach an astonishing 100 meters!

This length is quite extensive.

And the arm strength will reach an astonishing 100 tons!

Releasing satellites and capturing satellites are overkill for this large space robotic arm.

“Space is really dangerous. In addition to strong radiation, meteorites, micro-celestial bodies, and space junk are all great threats!” Cai Jin thought to himself.

Taking the earth as the reference system, the speed in this kind of earth orbit is quite fast.

No matter how small an object is, it can produce huge lethality.

Space debris or asteroids as small as 10 centimeters can pose a fatal threat.

The larger the aircraft, the greater the probability of encountering threats. More attention needs to be paid to the defense of these space debris, asteroids, and meteorites.

Like the current China Space Station, the early warning range reaches an area of ​​5 kilometers above and below the space station’s orbit and 100 kilometers before and after. Once a threatening target is discovered, the space station will either start to change orbit to avoid it, or use robots to sweep the target.

In the past, everyone did not pay much attention to space junk, but with the development of aerospace, the threat of space junk to human spaceflight has increased exponentially.

Whoever has stronger prevention capabilities will be safer in space.

Some countries don’t take the “large-scale strategic airborne platform” developed by China simply because they believe that as long as they master advanced anti-satellite technology, it will be no different from a target and can be easily destroyed.

Shields and spears are always relative and are not one-size-fits-all.
